Thousands more are not physically harmed but left traumatized by the noise. Many react as if they are about to be shot. They are terrified.
Please do not let fireworks off in open spaces where horses, sheep or other animals are grazing. Spare a thought also for your neighbours who may have a horse grazing next door, or back yard chickens who are equally terrified of fireworks. Make sure your cats and dogs are safely inside, and if you can, let your neighbours know when you are setting off fireworks so they can put their pets inside too.

Affected properties are from Waikanae Beach to Peka Peka from the intersection of Te Moana Rd and Huiawa St, Heperi St and all the way to the end of Paetawa Road and Peka Peka Beach.
The water supply may be shut down and restored at any stage between 9am and 3pm. Our crew is aiming to have some water to most properties back within 2 hours.
Following the shutdown, you may notice a milky appearance caused by air in the water, this will clear rapidly. If you have any recurring problems, please call us on 0800 486 486.

Tsunamis can be deadly, but they don't have to be – early action is our best tool to protect our community, saving lives, and avoiding the hazard becoming a disaster.
The number one rule if you're in a tsunami zone is, in an earthquake, long OR strong, get gone – don't wait for official warnings.
Check your zones on our evacuation zone finder at maps.kapiticoast.govt.nz... – type in the addresses of the places you regularly go to see what zone they're in.

We would love to be in a nice rural area with a big paddock we can spend our days in, digging around and eating some nice food and treats. Unfortunately we are unable to live in urban areas. We need to go out in pairs, or together as a group of 4. We would also be okay going to our new homes where there may be an existing pig family we can join in on. If you have room in your farm family for us, please enquire with the Wellington SPCA team."

“The Four Seasons is something we all carry around with us,” says Richter, “It’s just everywhere. This project is about reclaiming this music for me personally, by getting inside it and rediscovering it – and taking a new path through a well-known landscape.”
Dancers from inclusive dance company Jolt join together with musicians of the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra to create an energetic and evocative performance.
Led by acclaimed violinist Martin Riseley, this event is a joyous and affirming celebration of movement, music, and life.
